Thirty percent of computers in the United States are infected with some form of malware, putting America among the top 10 most malware-infected countries in the OECD (Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development). If it's any consolation, South Korea has the dubious honor of topping that list with a malware infection rate of over 57 percent.

When I read this article, I didn't think it was possible for 30 percent of U.S computers were infected by some form of Malware. This is just the thing that motivates more to work on computer security.
